Well, no, but I did spend Easter Sunday with members of the family...we spent a good deal of time talking about The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail and related issues. Mother was not all that pleased...good Catholic, eh? I didn't have the heart to also tell her that much of the Buddhist thinking is strongly Gnostic...anathema (well, heresy anyway) to the Roman Catholics...She surely wonders what went wrong...one son a Buddhist, the daughter a follower of an esoteric cult known as the Emen. Sheesh! What's wrong with that good old-time religion!
Hey, Larry's back! Been off meditating?

ReplyDeleteBTW, please note the note at the bottom of the ad. Benefactors encouraged. We're looking at a $20,000 bill to bring this Rinpoche to Canada.
